This book deals with the growing challenges of using assistive robots in our everyday activities along with providing intelligent assistive services. The presented applications concern mainly healthcare and wellness such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in smart environments, well-being, security, etc. These applications reveal also new challenges regarding control theory, mechanical design, mechatronics, portability, acceptability, scalability, security, etc.

Mr. Harrahy has had considerable experience in applying system reliability analysis and operations research techniques to the solution of system design and design tradeoff problems. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Lowell Technological Institute and Northeastern University respectively. He currently teaches a two-course series in System Reliability Engineering Techniques as a part of Northeastern University's Professional State-Of-The-Art course program for engineers in their Center for Continuing Education. A registered professional engineer in the state of Massachusetts Mr. Harrahy is the co-author of the papers “Effects of Failure on Phased Array Radar Systems” and “Inventory Control Models for Logistics Planning and Operational Readiness with Cost Constraints.” He is a member of NSPE ASME and IEEE. Mr. Harrahy is co-chairman of the Boston Section IEEE Reliability Group's Education Committee and has organized and lectured in courses on reliability and maintainability engineering sponsored by the Boston Section IEEE. Robert Ingram Powell was born in San Diego
California on 24 August 1923. He served with Naval Communications Intelligence OP-20-G during World War II and as an officer with Army Security Agency Intelligence Branch during the Korean War. Mr. Powell worked as a Chief Engineer for Industry and U. S. Government organizations for over twenty years including U. S. Army U. S. Air

WILSON, THOMAS B.U.S. NAVYTHE AUTHOR: has served in the U.S. Navy since 1942
starting with service in the Destroyer Forces Atlantic Fleet as a machinist mate on destroyer and destroyer tender types until entry into the U.S. Naval Academy in June 1944. He graduated in 1948 and served in the Amphibious Force US. Pacific Fleet on attack troop transports as Gunnery Officer Deck Division Officer Salvage Officer and Boat Group Officer until 1951 when he entered the Navy's Postgraduate Training Program. He received a Master of Science Degree in Naval Architecture from Webb Institute of Naval Architecture in 1953. Concurrently he entered the ranks of “Engineering Duty Only” Officers assigned to the Bureau of Ships Department of the Navy. He has served on the waterfront in Naval Shipyards in supervisory positions on new construction conversion repair and docking of ships ranging from minesweepers to attack aircraft carriers. Other assignments include Planning and Design Officer in a Supervisor of Shipbuilding Office Assistant Material Officer for Mine Forces Pacific Fleet Damage Control and Engineer Officer on the USS. RANDOLPH (CVS 15) as Project Coordinator of Aircraft Carrier design in the Ship Design Division of the Bureau of Ships and as Industrial Officer of the David Taylor Model Basin at Carderock Maryland.

SINGERMAN, HAROLD H.KINNEY, EDWARD T.Mr. H. H. Singerman is Head of the Fluid Processes Branch of the Annapolis Division of the Naval Ship Research and Development Center. A native of Massachusetts
he has been at the Center since 1951. He has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Northeastern University and is a degree candidate for Master of Public Administration (Technology of Management) at the American University. His group is responsible for Research and Development in such diverse fields as life support in nuclear submarines analytical chemistry water treatment and control and shipboard sewage systems. He is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Mr. E. T. Kinney
a native of Grand Rapids Michigan earned his Bachelor of Science degree with honors in Civil Engineering from Michigan State University in 1952. After a brief stint as an assistant county engineer in Michigan he began his career with the Bureau of Ships as a Naval Architect in the Hull Design Training Program in September 1952. Mr. Kinney is currently a Project Coordinator in the Propulsion Power and Auxiliary Systems Division (SEC 6151) of NAVSEC where he is responsible for auxiliary and landing ships deep submersible vehicles and the NAVSEC Environmental Pollution Control Program. He is a member of the board of directors of the Federal Conference of Sanitary Engineers Panel M-17 of SNAME and Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society.

This book presents a detailed study on fractional-order, set-point, weighted PID control strategies and the development of curve-fitting-based approximation techniques for fractional-order parameters. Furthermore, in all the cases, it includes the Scilab-based commands and functions for easy implementation and better understanding, and to appeal to a wide range of readers working with the software. The presented Scilab-based toolbox is the first toolbox for fractional-order systems developed in open-source software. The toolboxes allow time and frequency domains as well as stability analysis of the fractional-order systems and controllers. The book also provides real-time examples of the control of process plants using the developed fractional-order based PID control strategies and the approximation techniques. The book is of interest to readers in the areas of fractional-order controllers, approximation techniques, process modeling, control, and optimization, both in industry and academia. In industry, the book is particularly valuable in the areas of research and development (R&D) as well as areas where PID controllers suffice – and it should be noted that around 80% of low-level controllers in industry are PID based. The book is also useful where conventional PIDs are constrained, such as in industries where long-term delay and non-linearity are present. Here it can be used for the design of controllers for real-time processes. The book is also a valuable teaching and learning resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
